A method, apparatus and software for diagnosing the state or condition of a human, animal or other living thing, which always generates physiological modulating signals having temporal-spatial organization, the organization having dynamic patterns whose structure is fractal, involving the monitoring of at least one physiological modulating signal and obtaining a set of temporal-spatial values of each of said physiological modulating signals, and processing the respective temporal-spatial values using linear and nonlinear tools to determine the linear and nonlinear characteristics established for known criteria to determine the state or condition of the person, being or living things, and to use this data for diagnosis, tracking, and treatment and developmental issues.

Menus are created that facilitate access to data in a menu database. Preferably, the menus include a plurality of menus items laid out so as to duplicate the spatial organization of keys on a numeric keypad, such that a one-to-one relationship exists between the keys on the keypad and the menu items. The amount of memory required to store database records relating to individual menus is reduced, because a menu template provides general formatting information. Thus, database records need not include formatting details. When a menu is required, a menu template modifier uses the menu template and the corresponding database record to generate the desired menu. The menus are employed for accessing data in the menu database. An edit function is provided in the menu template modifier to enable custom menus to be developed and modified.

Described is a system for object and behavior recognition which utilizes a collection of modules which, when integrated, can automatically recognize, learn, and adapt to simple and complex visual behaviors. An object recognition module utilizes a cooperative swarm algorithm to classify an object in a domain. A graph-based object representation module is configured to use a graphical model to represent a spatial organization of the object within the domain. Additionally, a reasoning and recognition engine module consists of two sub-modules: a knowledge sub-module and a behavior recognition sub-module. The knowledge sub-module utilizes a Bayesian network, while the behavior recognition sub-module consists of layers of adaptive resonance theory clustering networks and a layer of a sustained temporal order recurrent temporal order network. The described invention has applications in video forensics, data mining, and intelligent video archiving.

One aspect of the disclosed puzzle includes a puzzle frame and a plurality of puzzle pieces. The plurality of puzzle pieces may be associated with a particular color scheme. The particular color scheme associated with the plurality of puzzle pieces may be particularly chosen to force an individual to focus on the spatial characteristics of the puzzle frame and each of the plurality of puzzle pieces during puzzle assembly. This method challenges the way an individual has been trained to typically assemble puzzles, e.g., by requiring that an individual must analyze the shape of one or more puzzle pieces with respect to the corresponding space available within the puzzle frame as opposed to focusing primarily upon an attempt to match the images that are displayed on the front face of each puzzle piece. Accordingly, the disclosure may facilitate the development of enhanced spatial organization skills.
